Simplicity

I stubbed my toe on my ipad just now. It's entirely intolerable. I told the maid to throw it out yesterday, and she should have known without that. It's the first edition, and now that the ipad 2 is out, why would anyone want the old one?
          Simplicity, as many sages (who I've read) have said, is one of the most important things in life. Material things can so easily clutter up your life, especially if you're not as enlightened as myself. Unnecessary possessions  are so much deadweight on your spiritual journey, your 'path', if you will, and so it is essential to keep your possessions few and your lifestyle streamlined.
           One way I try to follow this principle is that I have told the servants repeatedly to throw out any old electronics. Really, if it's not the latest model, it's just cluttering your life. So the ipad should have been gone months ago. I don't know what it was still doing in the house. Reliable help is so difficult to find these days. On the other hand, their mistakes led to these meditations, which might have been lost forever to humanity without them. Karma again, I suppose. I stub my toe, the world is enlightened. You're welcome.

Endurance

The World Spirit has sent me another trial. My chauffeur is on vacation, and of course, the moment he's gone the Ferrari breaks down. It's in the shop now, and for three days I'll have nothing to drive but the Porsche. It's an '09 911, almost three years old now. It's tough, but I've learned to deal with these things. My Yogi says I'm such a good person my karma may be over-cycling, and that's what's causing these problems. But he said if I bear these trials patiently, the World Spirit will enlighten me to a hyper-being. So that sounds cool.
I'm making the best of it and having them change the trim on the Ferrari while it's in there. I was getting tired of all the gold trim, so I'm going matte black.
                But three days is a long time. Stay tuned for more inspiration. I feel it's my duty to spread some of the amazing karma I've earned in elevating those below me, so I started this blog. I'll get my secretary to post some pics soon.
